Worshippers of the Twelfth Imam are knows as the Twelvers; and chief among them is Ahmadinejad and the leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Before the revolution, Ahmadinejad belonged to a messianic cult known as Hojjatieh, later disbanded, which believed that chaos will hasten the return of the Mahdi. Today, such extreme conviction is shot through the Tehran regime, especially among the privy council called the Partisans of the Mahdi; and the televising of the combat on the Lebanon front looks to vindicate the prophesy.
When Ahmadinejad says, "Lebanon is the scene of an historic test, which will determine the future of humanity," he is speaking not in the hyperbole of a tyrant but in the language of messianic faith....Ghostly Shadows, John Batchelor,, NY Sun,, August 4, 2006
ABC Radio's John Batchelor, who has run a nightly show for years dedicated to foreign affairs (11:30-1AM, Monday through Friday, 770 AM), has been paying close attention to Iran for a long time. The Teheran Mullahcracy has been directing the terrorist war for three decades. Yet, in the strange world of diplomacy, this seems to have escaped the attention of professionals in Foggy Bottom (and among their compatriots in France, Germany, and Spain). Batchelor's voice, which may be seen in the NY Sun several times in a week, may strike some as the voice of Cassandra, that Greek seeress. The term is usually applied as an insult, but, for those who haven't read Greek drama, Cassandra was right.

Great Post!
The August 22 thing becomes increasingly ominous. Also, it's difficult to ascertain whether the action in Lebanon just concluded (maybe), obviously provoked by the Iran-backed twin kidnappings by Hezbollah and Hamas, was not meant to conclude with some kind of long-range rocket barrage on Jerusalem on August 22, or whether the British airline caper was originally meant to happen on this date along with other fun as yet unknown.
But it's also equally possible that this is typical terrorista bragging and gasbagging. Just as every one of their defeats is a "great victory."
These murderous idiots are fully worthy of any violent conspiracy theory you might want to come up with. But it's equally possible that it's all hot air.
On the other hand, no one (except the idiotarian left) should have any doubt that the Islamofascists mean every bloody word that they say, whether or not they are capable, today, of delivering on their apocalyptic threats. If they can't pull it off today, they certainly intend to pull it off tomorrow.
